You know what really grinds my gears? - Operation Sports Forums

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you all know OS now has an official Discord that you can join right now. We’ve kicked around Discords for individual games in the past, but it felt like the right time to make it more of an official thing.

Steve and I have wanted to get this going for a bit because we obviously still hear from y’all who are unhappy with some stuff on the forums, plus when there are forum outages we still want to have a place for everyone to hang. My overarching goal for the longer term is to have both Discord and the forums ultimately work together. There are some logistical issues with the vBulletin forums that don’t allow things to sync right with Discord so there will be a little maneuvering as we try to get mods and forum members any proper roles/tags they need on the Discord, but we can work through that stuff easily enough as people join.

Our general goal is to give people more options to interact with OS community members, whether that’s Discord, the forums, this newsletter, or improved apps. If people want to stick more to the forums, that’s cool. If people want to stick more to the Discord, that’s also cool. In my perfect world, we do a lot of BSing and day-to-day chatting on the Discord about games and sports, and then more of the “in-depth” discussions or hefty things like long slider breakdowns or analysis of gameplay end up on the forums so that can act as a sort of “best of” area for anything OS community related. That said, you all will ultimately shape how the ecosystem shakes out, I just want to give you spaces you like so you can have a good time with other folks in the community.

The same general rules will apply on the Discord as they do on the forums, and we’ve brought most of the forum categories to the Discord as well so there should not be too much confusion as you navigate around.

With the Operation Sports and Discord announcement now out there, it’s also worth mentioning our OS premium newsletter, which quietly launched a couple of weeks ago. Built off the Not Just Another Roster Update newsletter, it offers a mix of retrospectives, guides, interviews and deeper dives into the sports gaming world—covering both current and classic titles.

People who think that Fall Out Boy or any of the 100002039349440 "Emo Rock" bands with HORRIBLE whiny lead singers are actually talented.

People who drive 70 mph in the right hand lane and 70.5 mph in the left hand lane.

Oh yeah, I forgot all about how they use to do that. And not just videos, but videos that were actually worth watching.

Re: You know what really grinds my gears?

I hate it when people feel the need to go 85 in a 70. Its stupid for a number of reasons.

1. You're killing your gas mileage which means you're throwing away money by speeding.

2. Cops. They're gonna pull you over. And then you think you have the right to bitch about it? The law is the speed limit. If you go 1 MPH over, you're breaking the law plain and simple.

3. Why the hurry? Enjoy the time driving. Put in a good CD and just chill for a while. The car is one place where no one can bother you.

4. Oh, you're late? So you gotta speed? Well maybe if you were on time you could go 70 and then #2 wouldn't happen, which makes you even later.

5. Show some respect to other drivers. It pisses me off when someone gets on my *** on I-59 or I-65 and I'm going any amount over the speed limit. The interstate is not yours. And the longer and closer you get to my bumper, the slower I'm gonna go.

FYI...Husker is the guy I'm referring to in my earlier post who goes 70.5mph in the fast lane alongside another person going 70.3mph in the right lane.

That's my problem. Don't worry about it.

Again, my problem. Shouldn't bother you.

I for one hate driving. I like to relax and zone out. While driving, I can't do that. I also want to spend as little time as possible surrounded by ******s driving 2000lbs worth of mayhem.

Tailgating is annoying. Anyone who tailgates should be shot. However, anyone who goes below the speed limit and doesn't pull over to let the people want to go faster go by, should also be shot.

As my mom always said about #4, if you're late and speed you may end up dead, then how late are you going to be??

I'm reading all this elevator stuff. There's a trick to have express service and have you go from 7th to lobby (or Vice Versa) each and every time.

Press the buttom for the floor you want to go to, hold it while holding the close door button. Hold it for 3-5 seconds.

Works every time.

That is amazing if it works.

I will try.

My mom uses that line as well. However, crashing at 80mph isn't going to be any less "lethal" than crashing at 65mph.

I don't speed because I am late. I speed because I can't stand waiting or hugging bumpers with people; I like to drive with no one around me. So I speed up to get past them so I can coast with no worries of some douche running into me.

I also like going fast.

Edit: I never go below 74mph on the Highway(65mph zone). I find that if you stay within single digits of the speed limit, you're fine.

It works but SHHH... keep that one secret. The more you show people the more they do it to you!

Or people who throw the term "emo" around all the time. Drives me insane.

Seriously, someone called Say Anything an emo band, and not 5 words later called their most recent album a 'rock album'.

It was the dumbest thing I've ever read.

PS: Patrick Stump is a very talented singer. He has an awesome vocal range. Even without FOB, he could definitely hold his own in the music industry.

Very true. I'm not much of a Fall Out Boy fan, but I love the work he's done with Gym Class Heroes.

Somerone said that Gym Class Heroes was an emo group, which makes no sense at all.

Let me assure you that I am a huge proponent of size, and it greatly matters. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise.

If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

What grinds my gears is people who use the term "Emo". Sound's like something pimple faced teenagers say.
